While at the engagement, the Duke of Cambridge chatted with 98-year-old Iris Orrell, who also suffered from severe morning sickness with each of her three sons. Suggesting that Kate might be suffering more with her third pregnancy, William asked her, “Did it get worse with each one?”

Iris recommended that the Duchess, 35, eat dry biscuits, which are said to help with nausea and sickness. However William noted that his wife had already tried the remedy to no avail. “Ginger biscuits,” he said, adding: “There’s not much ginger can do to stop that. We’ve done all that.”

Though it doesn’t seem as if Kate has found the perfect cure, William, 35, admitted that his wife has "been feeling better.” It was announced earlier this month that Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s parents are expecting their third child together. The news was revealed due to the Duchess’ sickness. Kate is scheduled to make her first public appearance since announcing her pregnancy on World Mental Health Day – taking place on October 10.

William attended Wednesday’s reception and awards ceremony for the Metropolitan and City Police Orphans Fund, of which he recently became Patron, solo. The event was held to mark 80 years since the orphanage closed and became the Fund in its present form, helping families of Met and City police officers who have died, retired or are unable to support them.

Dozens of families attended the event. During the reception, the Duke also met Imogen McLay, nine, from Maidstone, Kent, whose 42-year-old father Iain died in a motorbike accident when she was just 21-months-old. Admiring Imogen's headband, which was shaped like a cat’s ears, William told her: "Charlotte would love your ears."
